NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



1. Nature of Operations



Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Duke
Energy Corporation (Duke Energy). The Company is primarily engaged in the interstate transportation and storage of natural gas. The Companys interstate natural gas transmission and storage operations are subject to the rules and regulations of
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).



2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies



Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial
Statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances. These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. Amounts reported in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected
for the respective annual periods due to the effects of seasonal temperature variations on energy consumption.



Conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
notes. Although these estimates are based on managements best available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could be different from those estimates.



Asset Retirement Obligations.As of January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addressed financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard
applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset.



The implementation of SFAS No. 143 in the first quarter of 2003 resulted in a net $6 million increase in property, plant and equipment.
Liabilities increased approximately $6 million representing the establishment of an asset retirement obligation. If SFAS No. 143 had been in effect for the three prior years, the pro forma effects on the asset retirement obligation liability for
each year would have been immaterial. The asset retirement obligation is reviewed each quarter for any liabilities incurred or settled during the period, accretion expense and any revisions made to the estimated cash flows. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2003, the accretion expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has no assets that are legally restricted for the purposes of settling asset retirement
obligations. Removal costs included in accumulated depreciation for property that does not have an associated legal retirement obligation as of September 30, 2003 is approximately $16 million.



Reclassifications.Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
current year presentation.



3. Regulatory Matters



Fuel Tracker.Other Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets included $29
million as of September 30, 2003 and $9 million as of December 31, 2002 for costs related to fuel and balancing activity of the pipeline system that are recovered annually in transportation rates in accordance with the Companys FERC gas
tariff.



Standards of Conduct. In September 2001, the FERC issued a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) announcing they would modify the current standards of conduct uniformly applicable to natural gas pipelines and electric transmitting public utilities currently subject to differing standards. Duke Energy filed
extensive comments on the NOPR with the FERC in December 2001. In April 2002, the FERC Staff issued an analysis of all comments received. A public conference was held in May 2002 to discuss the proposed revisions to the gas and electric standards of
conduct. Duke Energy filed supplemental comments with respect to the FERC Staffs analysis in June 2002. The FERC is expected to take further action on the NOPR in 2003.

4. Gas Imbalances



The Consolidated Balance Sheets include in-kind balances as a result of differences in gas volumes received and delivered. As the settlement of imbalances are in-kind,
changes in the balances do not have an impact on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Other Current Assets include $13 million as of September 30, 2003 and $21 million as of December 31, 2002, and Other Current Liabilities
include $72 million as of September 30, 2003 and $51 million as of December 31, 2002, related to gas imbalances. Natural gas volumes owed to (by) the Company are valued at natural gas market prices as of the balance sheet dates. Changes in the
imbalance amounts from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 primarily result from changes in the volumes of natural gas receivable and payable.

such as Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, LLC (DETM) and Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (DEFS).
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|b | Includes reimbursement of costs incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Company and allocations from Duke Energy affiliates for various services and other costs. Duke Energy affiliates charge such expenses based on the cost of actual
services provided or using various allocation methodologies based on the Companys percentage of assets, employees, earnings, or other measures, as compared to other Duke Energy affiliates. In addition, the 2002 amounts include gas purchased
from affiliates such as DETM and DEFS for operations.
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Advances receivable-affiliates do not bear interest. Advances are carried as unsecured, open accounts and are not segregated between current and non-current amounts. Increases and decreases in advances generally result from the movement of
funds to provide for operations, capital expenditures and debt payments of the Company. The increase in advances receivable-affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 includes the non-cash transfer of the Companys primary office
building in Houston, Texas to its limited partner at its net book value of $59 million.



The Company paid $50 million in distributions to its partners in 2003.



The Company also has two notes payable issued to an affiliate, PanEnergy Corp, totaling $1.6 billion, which were outstanding at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Interest expense related to these notes totaled approximately $114
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the Company has two notes receivable from PanEnergy Corp totaling $1.6 billion which were outstanding at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Interest
income related to these notes totaled approximately $114 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These notes contain a right of setoff and are presented, along with their interest components, net in the
consolidated financial statements.

6. Commitments and Contingencies



Environmental.The Company is subject to federal, state and local regulations regarding air and water quality, hazardous and solid
waste disposal and other environmental matters.



Remediation activities.
The Company is responsible for environmental remediation at various impacted properties or contaminated sites. These include some sites that are part of ongoing Company operations or are owned by the Company as well as sites owned by third parties.
These matters typically involve management of contaminated soils and may involve ground water remediation. They are managed in conjunction with the relevant federal, state, and local agencies. These sites or matters vary, for example, with respect
to site conditions and location, remedial requirements, sharing of responsibility by other entities, and complexity. Some of these matters can involve statutory joint and several liability provisions, strict liability, or cost recovery or
contribution actions, whereby the Company could potentially be held responsible for contamination caused by other parties. In some instances, the Company may share any liability associated with contamination with other potentially responsible
parties, and the Company may benefit from insurance policies or contractual indemnities that cover some cleanup costs. All of these sites generally are managed in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2003, the Company has recorded
reserves for remediation activities on an undiscounted basis for approximately $25 million. Management believes that completion or resolution of these matters will have no material adverse effect on consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or
financial position.



Air Quality Control. The Company operates
compressor stations located in 15 different states. From time to time states, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), will modify the regulatory requirements in order to maintain compliance with the Federal Clean Air Act requirements.
These regulatory modifications sometimes necessitate the addition of emission controls. Management estimates that the Company will spend up to approximately $10 million in capital costs for additional emission controls through 2007 in order to
comply with new EPA and state regulatory requirements. These estimates remain subject to change, however, due to continuing changes to the requirements. Management believes that completion or resolution of these matters will have no material adverse
effect on consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.



Litigation.The Company is involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies regarding performance, contracts and other matters arising in the ordinary course of
business, some of which involve substantial amounts. Management believes that the final disposition of these proceedings will have no material adverse effect on consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.



7. Credit Risk



The Companys principal customers for natural gas transportation and storage services are local distribution companies, industrial
end-users, and natural gas marketers located throughout the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern states. The Company has concentrations of receivables from these industries throughout these regions. These concentrations of customers may affect the
Companys overall credit risk in that risk factors can negatively impact the credit quality of the entire sector. Where exposed to credit risk, the Company analyzes the counterparties financial condition prior to entering into an
agreement, establishes credit limits and monitors the appropriateness of those limits on an ongoing basis. The Company also obtains cash or letters of credit from customers, where appropriate, based on a financial analysis of the customer and the
regulatory or contractual terms and conditions applicable to each transaction.

Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.



INTRODUCTION



Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Duke Energy Corporation (Duke Energy). Texas Eastern and its subsidiaries (the Company) are primarily engaged in the
interstate transportation and storage of natural gas for customers primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern states. Interstate natural gas transmission and storage operations are subject to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commissions
(FERCs) rules and regulations.



Because all of the partnership interests
of the Company are owned indirectly by Duke Energy, the following discussion has been prepared in accordance with the reduced disclosure format permitted by Form 10-Q for certain issuers that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of reporting companies
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 set forth in General Instruction H (1)(a) and (b) for Form 10-Q.



Managements Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased $6 million compared to the same period in 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to new firm contracts, higher prices of energy-related
products, and lower property tax expense resulting from the reversal of accrued liabilities associated with the resolution of pending tax contingencies. These increases were partially offset by the increase in interest expense as a result of bond
issuances in July 2002, environmental provision reductions recorded in 2002 and severance charges recorded in 2003.



The Companys throughput was 921 trillion British thermal units (TBtu) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 879 TBtu for the same period in 2002. The
increase of approximately 5% was primarily a result of the colder weather in early 2003 in the Companys primary market areas.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had no cash or cash equivalents since all cash is managed collectively at the parent-company level and is
therefore advanced to/from affiliates as cash is generated or paid by the Company. The Companys working capital was a $204 million deficit as of September 30, 2003, compared to a $157 million deficit as of December 31, 2002. The decrease in
working capital was primarily attributable to increases in gas imbalance payables and taxes accrued. The Companys capital expenditures, debt repayments and operating requirements are expected to be funded by cash from operations. Management
believes the Company has adequate financial flexibility and resources to meet its future needs.



Cash flows from operating activities decreased $34 million from the same period of the prior year mostly due to the negative changes in working capital compared to the 2002 period.



Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2003 were $59 million and $124 million for
the comparable 2002 period. Projected 2003 capital expenditures are approximately $71 million, with market-expansion expenditures approximating 28% of the capital budget. All projected capital expenditures are subject to periodic review and revision
and may vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, industry restructuring, regulatory constraints, acquisition opportunities, market volatility and economic trends.



Increases and decreases in advances receivableaffiliates generally result from the
movement of funds to provide for operations, capital expenditures and debt payments of the Company. Advances receivable-affiliates do not bear interest. Advances are carried as unsecured, open accounts and are not segregated between current and
non-current amounts.



Cash flows from financing activities decreased $700
million from the same period of the prior year due to net 2002 debt proceeds of $650 million and partnership distributions of $50 million in 2003.

Credit Ratings.In March 2003, Moodys Investor Service (Moodys) placed its long-term and short-term
ratings of Duke Energy and Duke Capital Corporation, an indirect parent company, and its long-term ratings of the Company and PanEnergy Corp, an indirect parent company, on Review for Potential Downgrade. In June 2003, Moodys lowered its
long-term rating of Duke Energy, its long-term and short-term ratings of Duke Capital Corporation, and its long-term ratings of the Company and PanEnergy Corp, one ratings level. Moodys actions were prompted by concerns regarding leverage
ratios and cash flow coverage metrics at Duke Energy, and uncertainties associated with cash flow contributions from other, non-regulated subsidiaries of Duke Energy. Moodys concluded its action by placing Duke Energy, Duke Capital
Corporation, the Company and PanEnergy Corp on Stable Outlook.



In June 2003,
Standard & Poors (S&P) lowered its long-term ratings of Duke Energy, Duke Capital Corporation, the Company and PanEnergy Corp one ratings level. S&Ps actions were based on concern about Duke Energys ability to
strengthen its financial profile during the remainder of 2003 and in 2004, and its ability to absorb any further weakening in operating cash flows, while still meeting its debt reduction targets. S&P concluded its action by leaving Duke Energy,
Duke Capital Corporation, the Company and PanEnergy Corp on Negative Outlook.



In September 2003, Fitch Ratings (Fitch) lowered its long-term ratings of Duke Energy, Duke Capital Corporation, the Company and PanEnergy Corp one ratings level and its short-term rating of Duke Capital Corporation one ratings level.
Fitchs actions were based on concerns about other, non-regulated subsidiaries of Duke Energy. Fitch concluded its actions by leaving Duke Energy, Duke Capital Corporation, the Company and PanEnergy Corp on Negative Outlook. Subsequent to
September 30, 2003, Duke Energy no longer retains Fitch to rate Duke Energy or its subsidiaries.



As of September 30, 2003, the Companys senior unsecured credit ratings were BBB+(S&P), Baa2 (Moodys), and BBB (Fitch). The credit ratings of the Company and its
parent companies are dependent on, among other factors, Duke Energys ability to generate sufficient cash to fund its capital and investment expenditures and dividends, while strengthening the balance sheet through debt reductions. If, as a
result of market conditions or other factors affecting Duke Energys business, Duke Energy is unable to execute its business plan, or if Duke Energys earnings outlook materially deteriorates, Duke Energys and the Companys
ratings could be further affected.



CURRENT ISSUES



Environmental.The Company is subject to federal, state and local regulations
regarding air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste disposal and other environmental matters.



Remediation activities. The Company is responsible for environmental remediation at various impacted properties or contaminated sites. These include some sites that are part of ongoing Company operations or are
owned by the Company as well as sites owned by third parties. These matters typically involve management of contaminated soils and may involve ground water remediation. They are managed in conjunction with the relevant federal, state, and local
agencies. These sites or matters vary, for example, with respect to site conditions and location, remedial requirements, sharing of responsibility by other entities, and complexity. Some of these matters can involve statutory joint and several
liability provisions, strict liability, or cost recovery or contribution actions, whereby the Company could potentially be held responsible for contamination caused by other parties. In some instances, the Company may share any liability associated
with contamination with other potentially responsible parties, and the Company may benefit from insurance policies or contractual indemnities that cover some cleanup costs. All of these sites generally are managed in the normal course of business.
At September 30, 2003, the Company has recorded reserves for remediation activities on an undiscounted basis for approximately $25 million. Management believes that completion or resolution of these matters will have no material adverse effect on
consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.



Air
Quality Control. The Company operates compressor stations located in 15 different states. From time to time states, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), will modify the regulatory requirements in order to maintain compliance
with the Federal Clean Air Act requirements. These regulatory modifications sometimes necessitate the addition of emission controls. Management estimates that the Company will spend up to approximately $10 million in capital costs for additional
emission controls through 2007 in order to comply with new EPA and state regulatory requirements. These estimates remain subject to change, however, due to continuing changes to the requirements. Management believes that completion or resolution of
these matters will have no material adverse effect on consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.



The Companys management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely
fashion. The required information was effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period necessary to prepare this quarterly report. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that
information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
